Frequently Asked Questions

1What if my PDF has no bookmarks?

The tool requires bookmarks to determine split points. Add bookmarks first using the 'Add Bookmarks' tool, then split.

2Can I split by top-level bookmarks only?

Yes. Only top-level bookmark headings are used as split points. Sub-bookmarks stay within their parent chapter.

3How are output files named?

Each output file is named after its corresponding bookmark title, making it easy to identify chapter or section files.

4Can I split a textbook into chapters?

Yes. If the textbook has bookmarks for each chapter, this tool creates one PDF per chapter automatically.

Why Use ZiaSign's Split by Bookmark Tool?

ZiaSign's bookmark-based PDF splitter divides your document at each bookmark or chapter boundary. Upload a bookmarked PDF and get individual files for each section. Ideal for splitting e-books into chapters, manuals into sections, or reports into parts.
